  • Tea Seed Oil and Health Properties Fatih Seyis1, Emine
    Tea Seed Oil and Health Properties Fatih Seyis1, Emine Yurteri1, Aysel Özcan1 1Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University: Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Science, Field Crops Department, Rize/Turkey, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Tea Oil has a mild fragrant flavor that goes with anything. It’s not a heavy oil like Olive Oil, but thinner – more like almond oil. If the taste or “oiliness” of olive oil overpowers your food. Along with its mild taste and pleasant tea-like aroma, this oil touts impressive health benefits. Tea seed oil has a high smoke point, contains more monounsaturated fatty acids than olive oil, contains fewer saturated fatty acids than olive oil, contains high levels of Vitamin E, polyphenol antioxidants and both Omegas 3 and 6, but has less Omega 6 and Polyunsaturated Fats than olive oil. Health Benefits of tea seed oil are: it can be applied topically and consumed internally to obtain its health benefits, camellia oil can be used for skin, hair, has anti-cancer effects, effects boost immunity and reduces oxidative stress. Camellia oil is used for a variety of other purposes, for example for cooking, as machinery lubricant, as ingredient in beauty products like night creams, salves, in hair care products and perfumes and is used to coat iron products to prevent rusting. Key words: Tea, seed oil, health 1. Introduction Like other genera of Camellia (from Theaceae family), the tea plant (C.sinensis) produces large oily seeds. In some countries where tea seed oil is abundantly available, it has been accepted as edible oil (Sahari et al., 2004).

  • Storage Plans for Value Added MFP Products – Van Dhan
    Storage Plans for Value Added MFP Products – Van Dhan Storage Guidelines for MFP and Value Added Products - PMVDY After the processing of Minor Forest Produce (MFP) in Van Dhan Vikas Kendras (VDVKs), the need for storing the value added products becomes imperative as they must be preserved until needed for consumption. This document provides guidelines specifying how locally processed items should be preserved. Proper Storage Requirements: Any given storage system must be easy for maintenance and management. A good storage must be prevented from moisture and excessive air current. A good storage system enables free access in terms of regular check to access the state of the product. Any stored produce must be protected from pests, rodents and birds by allowing proper storage hygiene and maintenance. The storage facility must give ease of loading and offloading as the need arises. This is to create accessibility of the product. Storage Methods: Many people store their produce in the drying place itself which is not the right way of storage. Often the root or leaves are not dried properly which can cause harm if not stored properly. It is best to transfer the clean, dry produce to a cool, moisture-free place where rats and insects cannot follow. Warehouses are large houses or spaces that are commonly used as storage structures. They are especially constructed for the protection of the quantity and quality of processed agricultural products. They ways in which processed items can be stored are as follows: Bag Storage: This is a very popular form of storage. Transportation of the product is done in jute bags, the bags are easy to handle and the jute bag allows you to store different items in the same room.

    THE BIOCULTURAL IMPACT OF ETHNIC HEALTH AND BEAUTY PRODUCT CONSUMPTION AMONG SOUTH FLORIDA JAMAICAN WOMEN By BRITTANY MONIQUE OSBOURNE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2015 © 2015 Brittany Monique Osbourne To my ancestors and parents ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The following dissertation evolved over the course of five years with the help of many people. I would first like to pay honor and respect to my spiritual compass, my creator, whose love and wisdom guided me along this doctoral path. To my ancestors, both ancient and recently transitioned, I pay homage. No amount of verbal libations can ever truly honor the sacrifices they endured, so the living would not have to know their struggles. In particular, I would like to honor those ancestors who survived the Maafa. Without them, I would not be. I would also like to honor my Jamaican ancestors, particularly my Windward Maroon ancestors of Portland Parish. The legacy of their warrior spirits kept me strong throughout this process, and motivated me to continue the good fight of completing this work. I thank my intellectual ancestress Zora Neale Hurston, who I am very proud to have been directly trained by those who were trained by those who trained her. Her ethnographic and literary works spoke to me, and were always a constant reminder that those of us who are a blend of the fine arts and the social sciences are uniquely positioned to be a transformative voice for the voiceless.

The use of biodiesel has been widely accepted as an effective solution to reduce greenhouse emissions. The high potential of biodiesel in terms of PM, NO x, CO and CO 2 emission reduction may represent an additional motivation for its wide use. However the poor low temperature operability is imperative. According to these observations a different behaviour of the after treatment system, especially as far as control issues of the Diesel Particulate Filter are concerned is also expected. The use of biodiesel as alternative to fossil fuel for light duty CI engines to reduce greenhouse gas emissions was widely investigated. However, poor stability of biodiesel - diesel mixture limits the use of biodiesel to low volume concentrations. This paper presents the results concerning the use of a novel fuel additive package containing, pour-point depressant with the aim to increase the quality and amount of biodiesel in the diesel-biodiesel blends.

  • Value Addition Processing of Mfps
    Value Addition & Processing of Minor Forest Produce Value Chain for MFP – Stages The following commodity was studied extensively for the purpose of identifying the stages of value addition – Bael Pulp (dried) (Aegle marmelos) [ MSP – Rs. 27/kg ] Raw Material (Collection): The fruit should be picked individually, so that it does not fall on the ground to avoid cracking of the shell which may lead to spoilage during storage. Normally, the fruit should be harvested when yellowish-green and keep for 8 days while it loses its green tint. Then the stem readily separates from the fruit. A clear, gummy sap, resembling gum arabic, exudes from wounded branches and hangs down in long strands, becoming gradually solid. The fruits need to be harvested in January (2 to 3 months before full maturity) and ripened artificially in 18 to 24 days by treatment with 1,000 to 1,500 ppm ethrel (2-chloroethane phosphonic acid) and storage at 86º F (30º C). Care is needed in harvesting and handling to avoid causing cracks in the rind. Fruits need to be harvested by using long sticks attached with a hook and small bag around it. As a thumb rule, 1/3rd of the fruits should be left for consumption by birds and other animals for regeneration purpose. Cutting the branches or the whole tree for harvesting should be avoided. Ripen fruits can be harvested by shaking the branches. The hard shells of harvested fruits need to be breached by striking with a wooden or iron or stone hammer. The pulp should be removed by using a clean steel spoon or spatula and kept in clean clothes/ bamboo/ grass mats in the sun.
